Twenty-One: Intermission (A thought on productivity)

I'm a person of routine. It's not something I just figured out, but it's something I haven't fully implemented.

At work yesterday, I thought that I need to make the following:

Daily Goals

Weekly Goals

Monthly Goals

Yearly Goals

But I worry that such restrictions will debilitate my ability to break through. Currently though my routine is follows: sleep, wake, work, internet, sleep, repeat. Yes, there's some variation with the sleep with sleep, wake, sleep, internet, sleep, repeat, but I think that I could possibly replace one of the sleeps with something else.

At work yesterday, I tried writing a poem during my lunch break.

I was at Jollyman park with an old laptop writing in my car. I got tired and went to take a nap. At work they know I take a nap during my lunch break and tell me "must've had a good nap."

I'm thinking about poetry before work and at work sometimes. Today, I have to sub again for a 5-6 public speaking class. This will be the third time in a row.

About Me

I graduated with an MFA in Poetry. Who knew that it was/is/will be hard to find a job with an MFA in Poetry (everyone that warned me, everyone)? So I'm making the best of it -- as long as I can keep my head above water with: student loans, writing, teaching, working and creating something more than a no-life life.
